I'll post this on record as being nothing more then "unofficial info" at this point, but my sources tell me that Tim's Toyota Center / Global Entertainment will not be renewing the contract with the Arizona Adrenaline....which would leave them homeless and looking for a place to play. I would guess it has nothing to do with the fact that the Adrenaline only averaged "300-400" actual
sold tickets for each home game last year (the rest were gimmes and comped). Kinda tough to pay the arena fees which I understand to be around $12,000+ per event. (Most likely, Global/Arena have not been paid by the team for use fees)
Oh....I forgot to tell you about the time during the past season when I was at a local bowling alley and there was an Adrenaline player there selling merchandise out of a trash bag just so he could get payed for playing. This came straight from his mouth during a conversation I had with him.
OK....lets see......where can the Adrenaline play that has an indoor arena with football field capability....>>>>
NAU Walkup Dome - Flagstaff (Home to the Lumberjacks)
US Airways Arena - Phoenix (Home to the Phoenix Suns)
RVHS Dome - Round Valley High School-Eager/Springerville, AZ.
So their best bet is to pack up and move east to Springerville. I know the RVHS Dome can hold 500 people.
And my prediction is still the team will fold. We'll soon see.......wink wink!!!
Adrenaline without a home??
